Has anyone experienced wrist pain with new mac computer...? if so what are suggestions other than warm up and cool down exercises..**

Very good advice but no one is asking for medical advice.... Was wondering if anyone had any ergonomic suggestions that may have worked for them.. ??

  • Has anyone had any problems with fusion drive?  If so, what kind of problems, and were they easily corrected?

    I'm looking at buying a new computer.  Has anyone had any problems with fusion drive on iMac?  If so, what kind of problems, and were they easily corrected?

    NOPE!
    I better not!  My iMac is only a week old.  And, if I did have any problems with it, I would let Apple deal w/it!  I do not troubleshoot when I'm under warranty.  That's Apple job!

  • Has anyone experienced download failure with Fringe Season 4 Enemy of My Enemy episode?

    I have purchased the season pass for "Fringe" season 4 (2011-2012) and I am having a problem downloading a specific episode - "Enemy of My Enemy" which aired Friday January 20 and was available for download on Saturday January 21. I have been completely unable to successfully download this episode - and only this episode. Since the first failure, iTunes has successfully downloaded the following items, all also purchased via a season pass: "Criminal Minds" (air date 2012-01-25), "Big Bang Theory" (air date 2012-01-26), and the latest episode of "Fringe" (air date 2012-01-27).
    I have submitted a support request to Apple and have received so far one response - I have attempted all of the suggestions and reviewed the link (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2384) and nothing has worked. I have attempted to download the episode to a Windows 7 machine - same failure. I have attempted to download the episode to a different Mac - same failure.
    The end result of each attempt has been either an error "50" or an error "8008" after approximately 500 Mb of the episode is downloaded (out of approximately 1.4 Gb total). I have changed the download from an external drive to an internal drive, and still get the same error.
    Only this one episode of this one show am I experiencing failure.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated, and I would especially appreciate hearing either from anyone experiencing the same problem with this episode, or anyone who has successfully downloaded this episode.
    Thank you.

    Update: I have now successfully downloaded the HD version of "Enemy of My Enemy." However, I can't say what happened to make this possible.
    After complaining to Apple and failing to get any meaningful response, I waited about 12 hours and then tried again to resume the download with Store > Check for Available Downloads and again got the same -50 error message. Tried a few times, in fact.
    Then, just for fun, although I'd already tried this several times previously, I quit iTunes, deleted my ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Downloads folder, and reopened iTunes. Then I again chose Store > Check for Available Downloads. While the download was in progress, I paused it and resumed it several times, because it seemed to be going very slowly and sometimes I've found that when I pause and resume, downloads go more quickly afterwards. That was the case again with this file. Once it was going at a good clip, I held my breath as it approached the 500.2 MB mark, but the download just zipped right past and continued all the way to the end.
    It may have been that Apple actually listened to us and fixed a broken file on their end. (However, even if so, something is still not right, because we shouldn't continue getting the -50 error messages when we try to resume partially downloaded files.) Another possibility, and this is purely speculation, is that when you pause and resume, sometimes the download resumes from a different server. If that is the case, then it's conceivable that at least one server has always had a broken file and at least one has always had a good version, so that it was, and is, the luck of the draw as to which version gets sent to whom. But again, that's just a wild guess.
    Good luck to all those still trying to download the file!

  • Has Anyone Experienced This Situation WIth Video Ipod (40gig)

    This might seem trivial but i have noticed something happening recently on my ipod. You know how when you are listening to a song and you press the middle button twice the display on the screen will be a picture of the album or CD from which the song came? Well, recently, there is only a square with no picture of the album art. Has anyone had this problem and is there a known fix? Thanks
    Alienware   Windows XP  

    Mine does that sometimes. I'm not sure why. All I do is reset my iPod, and it seems to fix the problem. All you do is hold the center button and the Menu button at the same time until you see the Apple logo appear. Resetting your iPod will not erase what is on there. Give that a try and see if it fixes the issue.

  • Anyone having Audio Issues with new Mac Mini, new Thunderbolt Display and new Pegasus R4?

    I can't listen to the built-in speakers on my brand new Apple thunderbolt monitor to the terrible audio quality.  I'm running Mac Lion on a new Mac Mini with a brand new Promise Pegasus R4 - all purchased in January 2012.   The entire setup is connected via Thunderbust errh, I mean Thunderbolt. 

    Hi,
    I'm also having an audio problem, which I suspect now is caused by my Thunderbolt display.

  • Need help with new MAC computer and Touch

    I had to wipe my drive clean and reinstall MAC OS X and iTunes yesterday.
    My Touch has the latest firmware and the App Pack.
    However iTunes is now blank.
    How do I configure iTunes so that I can resync my Touch without losing either the firmware upgrade or the App Pack? BTW I have a backup of just the iPod touch App Pack 4A93.ipa file
    Also, can my Contacts and Calendar info on the Touch be imported back into the applications on the MAC? Or will I have to rebuild them?
    thanks for your help

    The reason I had to wipe the drive and reinstall OSX was that when I turned on my MacBook Pro it stuck on the opening gray screen (with the gray Apple logo). The spinning start up icon just kept spinning. I tried the usual start up fixes - nothing worked. Since the computer is used for work I contacted our MAC IT guy and he suggested to start it up from the original software install disc that came with the MAC and use the Utilities on that disk to repair the hard drive. I did that, ran the utility to repair the disk. Unfortunately, the utility very quickly encountered an error and said that the disk could not be repaired. My IT guy said that the likely cause was a bad sector on the drive and that I should erase the drive using the utility using the option of overwriting with zeros since, according to him this process would end up with a reformatted drive with the bad sectors no longer available. Unfortunately that also meant that I'd lose everything on the drive. Fortunately I'm fairly up-to-date with my back ups. I've owned MACs since February 1984 and this is the first time I've encountered a problem like this.
    It's taken about about 12 hours to get everything back and working again. The only concern is with my iPoT since this is a blank iTunes. I have all my music backed up so I can recreate my playlists. However, my MACs iCal and Address book are empty and I don't want the ones on my iPoT to be blanked out when I sync it. And I'd rather not lose the iPoT apps which I just bought in January. Although if that happens I guess I'll just have to purchase the apps again

  • Has anyone experienced a problem with the adjustment brush since last update (for Mac) last week?

    Following an update to Lightroom on my Mac Pro work station last Friday: when I apply my adjustment brush to an area in an image, a faint box encompassing a much larger area than the size of my brush appears (extends well beyond the area I've identified with my brush and is clearly a large square shape). When I release my mouse, the adjustment I've made affects my entire image. I had no issues with adjustment brush prior to the update. I've been on the phone with Adobe support (no help). Have uninstalled/reinstalled Lightroom several times (no help). Adobe directed me to Apple (recommend use of Time Machine to date before Lightroom update came through). To ensure it's an isolated bug, I checked my MacBook Pro. Worked fine without update; I let update come through and find the adjustment brush "bug" is intermittent. When it occurs, however, I always see the larger "box" area, and the adjustment brush ultimately affects my entire image.
    Anyone else experiencing this? Adobe support insists it's a Mac issue. Thanks!

    Hi,

    Same problem (rectangular areas) + others under Windows. The adjustment brush and the clone / heal tool have been totally broken in LR 3.2. You're not alone. See this thread. I have filed a bug report. No answer until now.

  • Has Anyone experienced a problem with trying to install a new app or reload a purchased app? After I had upgraded my ipad to 6.01 started having problems with updating my apps. Kept getting unable to Purchase. Please try again later.

    Any Help would be appreciated.

    Saw this on another post.
    Applecare Senior Advisor Txx Bxxx (I have his contact info in an email he just sent) just confirmed with me that the problem people are having with the App Store not loading is an apple issue with there servers, ITS NOT YOUR IPAD so don't go restoring it!   It's not happening to everyone however but they are looking into it, its really hit or miss.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    This works for some users. Not sure why.
    Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

  • Has anyone else had issues with their Mac running slowly after installing Mavericks?

    Ever since I installed Mavericks, my MacBook is running waaaaay slower. One of my favorite things about Macs has always been how fast they boot up, but ever since Mavericks, mine takes forever. A lot of programs like GarageBand and Premiere Pro are also running really slowly. They used to work great. Anyone else having this same issue?

    The first thing to do is ensure you have adequate backups, because what you describe can be a symptom of impending disk failure.
    To help determine the possible causes of this behaviour read the following. None of what follows is intended to fix anything, but it will provide the additional information required to advance troubleshooting. There are four separate parts to it; read everything first.
    Boot OS X Recovery by holding ⌘ and r (two fingers) while you start your Mac. At the Mac OS X Utilities screen, select Disk Utility. Select your startup volume (usually named "Macintosh HD") and click the Repair Disk button. Describe any errors it reports in red. If Disk Utility reports "The volume Macintosh HD appears to be OK" in green then you can be reasonably (though not completely) assured your hard disk is in good working order.
    When it finishes restart your Mac and test again for operation. If it's still not behaving as you expect it should, please post the results of EtreCheck in accordance with the following instructions:
    Apple Support Communities contributor etresoft wrote a very useful app to quickly gather certain system information that may help point to a cause of this problem. Read about it here. It contains a link to download EtreCheck. Don't download it from anywhere else (such as may be found by following the results of an Internet search).
    Click Open - etresoft contributes to this forum frequently and can be considered a trustworthy developer.
    It will take a moment to run as it collects its data.
    Copy and paste its output in a reply.
    Do not be concerned about anything that says "Problem" or “failed” or anything else that may appear in red.
    EtreCheck was designed to remove any personal information (such as your computer's name and serial numbers) but if you see anything that looks like an email address or any other personal information that should not be divulged to others, please delete or obscure that information when you post the reply.
    When you are finished with EtreCheck, quit the program. It occupies very little space, and you can keep it or drag it to the Trash as you wish.
    After completing the above please determine if the problems also occur in "Safe Mode":
    Safe Mode or "Safe Boot" is a troubleshooting mode that bypasses all third party system extensions and loads only required system components. Read about it: Starting up in Safe Mode
    You must disable FileVault before you can start your Mac in Safe Mode.
    Starting your Mac in Safe Mode will take longer than usual, graphics will not render smoothly, audio is disabled on some Macs, and some programs (iTunes for example) may not work at all.
    Merely starting your Mac in Safe Mode is not intended to resolve the problem, it's to observe its performance without certain additional components.
    To end Safe Mode restart your Mac normally. Shutdown will take longer as well.
    System performance problems for reasons that cannot be isolated to any other cause justify an SMC reset. Be sure to read the procedure carefully and follow all the steps exactly as written, even if they seem inapplicable or trivial.

  • Has anyone experienced a problem with FB posting since the installation of iOS 6?

    Hello,
    I am currently an owner of an Ipod Touch 4th generation. I see you are having problems with your Ipod Touch/Ipad/Iphone/Ipod Classic, so I will try to find a solution to your problem.
    Do the IOS update (the one that is the latest)
    Reset All Settings: SETTINGS>GENERAL>RESET>RESET ALL SETTINGS
    Use it until it dies (automatically shuts off)
    Plug into Charge
    Leave it 1.5 hours or longer after it reaches 100% --> Undisturbed (preferably overnight)
    Give it a few days to Calibrate
    This has helped me on my Ipod Touch 4th generation, running IOS 6.0.1
    Hope that helps!
    If none of the above solutions work, can you please respond back ASAP as I will try to find another solution to your problem (This might even help others with the same problem!)
    Cheers!

    I have experienced some mild tingling if I touch the aluminum case on my iMac at the same time that I touch the metal cases on my external hard drives.  They are all connected to the same surge suppressor and are on the same circuit, which is definitely properly grounded.  I can't explain it, and I just make sure not to touch them at the same time.
    I have never had any sensation touching just one of the devices alone.  Is that what you are experiencing?
